The best and most cost effective solution is to get another 4500/4700
with a NP-1A-SM mod. If you want to use a newer router, you will have to
go at least to a 3600. The 2600 series does not support the atm module.
As far as cost, it is much lower to go with the 4500 over a 3620. Even
at ebay prices, you are looking at something close to this:
4500 Router $300-600
NP-1A-SM $600-800
3620 Router $700-1100
NM-1A-OC3SM $2000-4000
Hope this helps.

Subject: atm lab advice
Hi All,
I am setting up a basic atm lab as part of my ccie studies.
Currently I have a 4500M router with a single mode ATM fibre module
(NP-1A-SM) installed.
I was looking to buy a second router, something like a 2611 or 3620 with
a
compatible atm module to link via fibre back into my 4500M router /
module
so I could install an atm link into my home lab.
Does anyone know the best and most compatible way to do this?. I could
get
another 4500M router / module but I would prefer something a bit newer
i.e.
a 2611 or 3620 using fibre so I could connect between the 4500M and the
2611
or 3620.
I'd appreciate any comments.
Best Regards,
Malcolm
